英语中的女子隐喻化称谓研究

A Study of Female Metaphorical Address Forms in English

从认知语言学、文化语言学和语义学视角出发,可从动物隐喻、植物隐喻、食品隐喻、物品隐喻四个方面详述英语中或褒或贬或中性的女子隐喻化称谓,进而分析其特点及成因,为英语教学和英汉跨文化交际提供一些借鉴和参考。认为,语言以人为本,女子因其自身独特的生理、心理特点及其与大千世界千丝万缕的联系,获得了诸多隐喻化称谓。

From the perspective of cognitive linguistics and cultural linguistics as well as semantics, the author elaborates the commendatory, derogatory or neutral female metaphorical address forms in four aspects including animal metaphor, plant metaphor, food metaphor and article metaphor, and analyzes the features and formation of such kinds of female metaphorical address forms, which may provide some lessons and references for English language teaching and English- Chinese intercultural communication. The author holds that languages are people--oriented, so women＇s unique physical and psychological charateristics and their links with the world have formed such a profound variety of female metaphorical address forms.
